The Slate Truck is the first product from Michigan-based Slate Auto.
It’s a machine designed to be extremely basic, extremely customizable, and extremely affordable.
Those are not your typical design goals, but then the Slate Truck isn’t the fruit of your typical design process.
Instead of steel or aluminum, the Slate Truck’s body panels are molded of #plastic.
The theory is that this makes them more durable and scratch-resistant, if only because the lack of paint means they’re #one #color all the way through.
Slate continues the theme through to the upholstery, a heathered textile that was designed to get better looking as it wears. The idea is to lean into the #aged #aesthetic.
But not everybody will dig the shark theme, and so the Slate Truck is designed to be #customizable to a degree never seen before on a production vehicle. Johnson says this is in contrast to the overly curated experience offered by many brands.

Gnarled Hands.
G.
Two hands are depicted intertwined, rough and gnarled old worker's hands resting after a hard day of work. The detailed line work contrasts with a dark background, emphasizing the focus on the hands.

#ANZ #Bank is going further and further in enforcing their #TermsAndConditions which are very anti-#Aged and anti-#CognitivelyImpaired.

If an elderly person is getting help using #InternetBanking in a way where the helper gets to know the account password then ANZ is shutting that person off from using that service.

May be failure to provide #ReasonableAdjustment which would be an offence under the fed and state #AntiDiscriminationLaws.

The IncludeAge project focuses on how we can improve the #inclusion of middle to older #aged people (40+) with #Learning #Disabilities and/or people who identify as #lesbian, #gay, #bisexual or #transgender + (#LGBT+) (with the plus representing others who don’t identify as heterosexual or cisgender), by learning about their experiences of being included in #physical places and #online spaces. https://includeage.co.uk/

So husb + I just had conversation about #homelessness, cost of living, #mentalhealth, hopelessness and the #inhumanity that is raging out of control around the world.

"#Therich don't care about the poor anymore. They look after themselves and #thepoor can just go away and die for all they care" he says.

I reply "Nobody cares about ppl struggling anymore. How many ppl would give a friend $1000 or real-deal support if they needed it. We have a niece with 3 kids struggling on her own and you (my husb) don't help your own flesh and blood" .. but he knows I send $$$ over to UK for her.

So how many ppl DO really care? Do even help family or close friends? So how surprising is it the world is like it is? Meagre support for #NDIS community, the #aged, #homeless, #refugees, the helpless in #Ukraine, #Gaza...

We need to look at ourselves first if the world is to build HEART, not fear and loathing of others-not-like-us
